Back-to-school season brings another round of juggling for working moms, especially those balancing family life with practice ownership.
We’re revisiting four eyecare practices built by ODs who have grown their businesses alongside their families.
Elizabeth MacDonald, OD, put practice ownership on hold while raising her three children, then launched ClearVue Eyes once they reached their teenage years—and made the cold start a family affair.

Amber Vinge, OD, FCOVD, jokes that her practice is her “6-year-old,” alongside her three children—and she handed contractors the keys to its new space just hours before giving birth to her youngest.

Kristin McArdle, OD, opened Sugar River Eye Care while expecting her first child, welcoming her son just three months after opening—and now structures her four-day workweek to give her more time at home with him.

Anwi Etame, OD, moved to Texas six months pregnant with two young children, then took on another big adventure less than two years later: opening Keller Premier Eye Care with three little ones at home and a global pandemic on the horizon.
